PowerShell Demo: Prompt for Choice

  • Article

Requirement

Our Service Desk needs a Prompt for Choice while executing PowerShell.

Solution

It's possible - but it matters how you modify it.

Trick: In this demo, we will show a pop up with Short Keys.

$Title = "Welcome"
$Info = "Just to Demo Promt for Choice"
  
$options = [System.Management.Automation.Host.ChoiceDescription[]] @("&Power", "&Shell",  "&Quit")
[int]$defaultchoice = 2
$opt = $host.UI.PromptForChoice($Title , $Info , $Options,$defaultchoice)
switch($opt)
{
0 { Write-Host "Power" -ForegroundColor Green}
1 { Write-Host "Shell" -ForegroundColor Green}
2 {Write-Host "Good Bye!!!" -ForegroundColor Green}
}

Hotkey

&Power makes P a Hot Key.

Enjoy PowerShell.
